I got a 28.94 down, 35.48 up speed test when I was in Manhattan 2 days ago ;)
[Thunderbolt General] azwildfire:
I actually would have kept the atrix if i could even get 3g speeds.

I never broke 1.5 MB down...

And I live in Phoenix AZ!!

Oh , it also sucks for coverage - I would drive 10 miles out of city limits and go from 4 bars to NOTHING.

Verizon has a fantastic network - but the Atrix is the best phone i have ever had...
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
I returned the atrix for the thunderbolt..

I'm a long time verizon customer.. the AT&T network was too hit or miss, the phone had bugs.

it was faster, but I don't have verizon 4g coverage here yet in milwaukee. I'm sure that'll change and I can't wait

battery life, the atrix was better, but it had a 1900mah battery.. the tbolt has 1400 and a much larger screen.. i'm scared to see how it gets when I start beating on 4g... I can barely keep it to sustain a change while on the charger using mobile hot-spot.

The consumer is the only one that loses here
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Upload being faster than Download should cue you into something wrong with that picture.
[Thunderbolt General] CorporateGoth:
Nah - the upload speed is probably wrong due to the TB's huge upload buffer. It's a known issue that upload speeds aren't going to be correct using the SpeedTest app.

But no buffer in the world can improve download speeds, and I more care about that.
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
the download speed is borked as well, reads too low.
[Thunderbolt General] Ubermicro13:
4Mb/s? You can get that with a standard flip phone. Now 4MB/s is a different story.
[Thunderbolt General] ksizzle9:
Either way, the atrix isnt really 4g, and it has a locked bootloader. Good luck, the tbolt also has more dev support and its only been out for one week today. How bout that? Those are the things that really matter. They are both great phones.

[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
so then y do they say its 4g?:confused:
[Thunderbolt General] jenarelJAM:
Thought the video was pretty spot on, although it took too long before they mentioned the Tbolt's huge battery problem. The Atrix has a HUGE battery on it, and lasts all day for me using ~50% of the battery (nothing too intensive, but I was reading the news, had background data on, etc.). Overnight, with no use (I just forgot to plug it in), I lost another 20% (only 10% increments on this phone). I think this is phenomenal for an Android phone. I've had two n1's and a Droid X prior to the Atrix, and the Atrix has about 30% more battery time than either one.

I was seriously considering returning the Atrix (because I really want to run CM7) and getting a Tbolt, but ultimately decided not to because the battery is supposed to be TERRIBLE. I've heard complaints of 2 hour full-to-empty batteries, especially because of the LTE radio and large display (I actually wish the Atrix was 4.3, I'd gladly take the battery hit). HTC's "recommended" battery saving methods are to 1. Turn off 4g (okay, so why have a 4g phone then?), and 2. disable background communications (really? So I can't get my email on my phone anymore. What a stupid suggestion... Why have a smartphone then?). The Atrix can be rooted to get around all the AT&T lockdowns, and has been holding up pretty well for me.

Then again, I rarely rely on fast downloads when I'm not near wifi, so the whole internet speed thing isn't much of an issue for me. I admit it's kinda nasty of AT&T to advertise 4G when the system isn't ready yet...

Just my comparison between the two, not having had the Tbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] ksizzle9:
I got a seido 1650 batterybthat fits with oem back and much to my suprise it has lasted me all day with moderate usage, and i still have at least 50%, shovked by that to be honest

Turning 4g off is for folks not in or just in the fringe 4g areas for the most part so it's not searching for it all the time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takgeun68:
Hello I ve used SNS for quiet a while (GB Collab) and just updated to GB collab 10.12 which it is based on 2.3.3 and the color and the display really annoys me, for example, when I go in to the menu the 3D effect of the apps are blurry and unable to see unless I scroll them up. Also the colors are not clear...is this supposed be like this? or it is just my phone? I heard that the color temperature change was intentional....but seriously?

I currently can not send email outbound on a specific pop3 account that I use. I had this option prior to a reset and cant figure out where to find the regedit again.

I can currently receive email from abc domain and want to send it out from xyz domain - this I have set up.

However I and the reply to for xyz domain to be abc domain. Does anyone know how to make this possible?

Thanks you!
[Defy General] geekdude:
Hi guys!

I'm relatively new to droid phones but I have heard a lot about Defy and I briefly used some HTCs.

What is the best way to equip it with apps and what are the things that you always use in this phone?

Also any accessories that you find good?

Thanks much,

D
[Defy General] scrannel:
Well, the way I handle Android phones is very straight forward: buy the one with the hardware and firmware I want. Then... find out what's missing or doesn't really work and add apps to make up for it. For instance, the stock email app for pop3 email doesn't work with my email account, so I had to add the app "Seven" to have a workable email. (Though I just upgraded to 2.2 so have to try it again.) All depends on what you need the phone for.
[Defy General] daniel_loft:
If you're looking for the latest flavor of Android and infinite ways to customize your phone, skip Motorola altogether and look only at Google (Nexus One, Nexus S). \

If you don't mind putting the latest Android yourself, pick a phone that has CyanogenMod firmware. You can bet it is unlocked and you'll find at least another few alternative firmwares for it!

Cheers!

PS: For 100 euros more I would have had a Nexus One and a big smile on my face... Now I have to wait for a cracked bootloader or Motorola's mercy...
[Defy General] scrannel:
Can't mount a Nexus on the handlebars of your motorcycle or mountain bike in the rain. But for those who like to stay indoors and play with their boot-loader... plus if you have the right carrier, you can use wifi calling.
[Defy General] geekdude:
Wow, there's really a bunch of hardcore users on this forum! I will consider Nexus S as well. I was tempted by this anti-hit cover for Defy but I'm not really a traveller or mountain climber :)

What about energy? I read here a lot of posts where people complain about battery life on Androids. How's Nexus S with it?
[Defy General] unrafa:
I get 3-4 days, but i have optimizations explained next, and NO widgets, and i make only a few calls and read mail or install some app little use.

Anyway. With SetVsel and underclock - undervolted, and setting Wireless always on (very important; always ON for some crazy reason increase battery life when screen is off) you should get at least 24 hours of heavy use. and 2-3 days of normal use.
[Defy General] [UT] X-RAY:
frankly, I find your question "What is the best way to equip it with apps and what are the things that you always use in this phone?" a bit strange.

> for apps there is this magical thing called "market". any chance you have heard of it?

> I might be a bit conservative but I use my smartphone to call, surf, read email and manage my appointments (i.e. use the calendar). but that is just me. you should be the one who knows what he wants to do with it, not us.

regarding battery life: it varies a lot, just with every smartphone. you can drain it in 1-2 hours, e.g. with GPS navigation or multimedia stuff. but you can have to recharge it only 2-3 times a week, like I do with averge usage (i.e. do thinks when they have to be done and not mistaking the phone for a nintendo)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pac-Man:
What's app guys!

Well... My friend borrows me a HTC Desire, and I love its lockscreen... So I have a question...

I have Darky's Rom 9.4, but i don't want to install any software for that... so could I install these lockscreen in this phone?

And... If i can't.. is there any way?

thanks everyone!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmvalente:
picture or name of the lockscreen?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrianteddy:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pac-Man:
I think I made a mistake... I wanted to say "HTC Sense Lockscreen"

(I can't put images here 'til I'll have 8 msg, sorry)

Without any software plz... I want to say: darky's rom has its own lockscreens in "Settings -> Screen -> Unlock Style" or whatever you type... So I want to know if I or you or anyone could mod it and add the HTC Sense lockscreen...

thanks to everyone!!!
[Nook Color General] piercenkc:
My wifi keeps cycling between on and off on my Nook. Sometimes it will stay on, and appear like it wants to connect to my wifi, but all it does is get stuck at the "obtaining ip address" portion of the process.

What do I need to do to remedy this?
[Nook Color General] eojont:
I found the same problem, I can say that the Froya rom is almost perfect for me, except the problem that the WIFI lost and cyclical on and off. I tried many ways recomeended but no luck.

If someone can help to solve this please !!!
[Nook Color General] poppscc:
I had this problem before, and it was because of an improper flash. I skipped a step of wiping data and cache before applying the flash.
[Nook Color General] bigtourist:
Settings -> Date & Time -> UNCHECK Automatic

that solved most of the problem for me.. its still unreliable, but atleast it doesnt get stuck in a loop anymore.
[Nook Color General] lito15:
Maybe you should delete all networks registered on your phone. in case you have chosen to remember some WiFi networks in the past.

Then turn off/on your wifi network

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
Regarding the White Death when charging, I found two solutions:

a) Settings->Applications->Development->Stay Awake YES

Prevent the problem by not sleeping while charging.

b) Use Panel 3.

That is actually what I do. My kaiser has the same symptoms as yours, but does not have white death when I use panel 3.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] onipip:
Mmmh... good idea! :)

I'm currently using the panel 3, but the "white screen of death" still appears :confused:

I think the solution A can be fine :)

Thank you so much for the help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
I concur...

White death can be abated by changing the status to "stay awake" while charging. I had the same problem for the first week with panel 2, but after I selected the "stay awake option, I can hit the end button while charging and never lock it up, ever.
[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
So I want to root my phone, but I cannot get ANY computer to recognize the phone when it is in either download mode, or debug mode.

I'm running Sprints stock EB13 right now.

I've downloaded the samsung drivers and installed them.

I've tried 3 computers -- A XP 32bit, a vista 64bit, and a 7 64bit system. I've also tried 3 different cables. Nothing works.

The phone is recognized fine in mass storage mode.

Tried restarting the phone many times, removing the battery, etc.. same with the computer side of things.

I'm out of ideas to try and can't find a good post with a fix.

Thanks for any input!
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
what are you running on your PC that you want to connect to the phone with?

Odin (in download mode?)

ADB in debugging mode?

What exactly are you trying to run ??
[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
I wanted to use Odin to go back to DI18 at first. After that didn't work I tried ADB in debug mode, and that no longer works!

I know ADB in debug mode used to work when I was on DI18 because I used it before when I first got my phone. Now I've upgraded to EB13 from the file samsung provided on their website. I've also tried a hard re-set of the phone and that didn't help either.
[Epic 4G General] iil:
I had a similar issue. I was able to resolve it by creating a fresh user in windows and then running it from there.
[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
umm..yeah three complete different computers?...I don't think thats the case.
[Epic 4G General] Sigkill-9:
I had this exact problem with my Epic also. I tried rooting my fone too, for like 2 months straight, with no luck... Tried every technique, software, and trick in the book and nothing worked...

2 days ago though, I finally rooted it using this solution:

Forget about trying to "root" it.

Instead, flash the "Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6" to your fone (search the forum, you'll find it and the thread that explains how to do it).

It's pre-rooted too!

It worked fabulous for me. I am now rooted and well on my way to fully customizing my fone.

Odin is finicky though... I had to switch the usb cord around to several different ports before it recognized my fone. Also, it kept locking up at a certain point in the flashing process, but after moving the image from "Phone" to "PDA" (you'll know what these are once you open up Odin), it worked brilliantly.

Try it, it works!

P.S. Just in case this helps anyone; I should note that originally I upgraded from Eclair to the official unrooted straight from Samsung (before they pulled it) stock Froyo. I loved it, but wanted it rooted.

I read somewhere that it was easier to root it if you reverted back to Eclair first. So I did (search forum for uninstalling Froyo).

And from Eclair, I flashed to the above mentioned rooted and deodexed version of Froyo (EB13).

Hope it helps!
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
Might try looking at the usb on the phone to check for something preventing a good connection; I've read where people have found bent connectors and were able to fix it.

Good luck; that has to be extremely frustrating.
[Epic 4G General] punwik:
I tried everything like you, multiple cables, multiple computers, EVERYTHING!!!

I finally broke down and took it to sprint and they couldnt even get it to connect or fix the problem so i got a new epic. You might just want to take it back and get another one. Im on my 3rd epic now so that should tell you something about these ****TY phones...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] goblue30093:
So I'm wondering if there is a micro SD card slot then do you really need to buy the 32gb version? It appears that the current math among tablet manufacturer's is $100 for 16gb of memory which is obviously a joke. So if i buy the 16gb version and then buy a 16gb sd card ($25) do I effectively come out with the same thing for $75 cheaper?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
Depends how you use it. I think it will behave like the Samsung Galaxy S in that the built in memory will appear as a different location to the external memory. Files cannot span both locations and thus your file may not fit even though the total combined free space you have left is larger than the file you are trying to copy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] goblue30093:
well if thats the case then in general it will work just fine. Chances arent very good that i'm going to have some massive file on there.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Magnesus:
Internal memory is probably faster than 25$ microSD card.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
You could spend $90 on a Class 10 32GB card and be looking pretty good.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] goblue30093:
there you go, 32 gb for the price they are offering 16gigs. sounds good to me. not only that but you can spread that cost. Drop the $499 now, wait a couple months and get the micro sd later. thanks for the info
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
On my galaxy s, my class 4 micro sd card is as quick is the internal memory. I'm sure the tab will allow quicker speeds but it's worth noting that a class 4 card is sufficiently fast enough to play back 1080p without problems. If you want to save time transferring files between tablet and pc then fair enough but I would personally save money and get a class 4 and make a cup of tea while it copies :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ryude:
Just but the 16GB, as long as it has a micro SD slot you won't need anymore than that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blueman101:
Thats pretty much what it mean, the question now is whether it will actually have an SD card slot, I have read conflicting reports that it does and does not have one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I think the conflicting reports are due to two different versions of the Tab 10.1. The version shown during the MWC does not appear to have a MicroSD card slot. The newer version shown at CTIA does have a MicroSD card slot. Most reviews are consistent with this but a few have gotten it wrong which has probably led to the confusion.

There's a number of differences between the versions but the easy to identify differences are thickness and MP of the rear camera. The first version (MWC) is 10.9mm thick and has an 8MP rear camera. The newer version (CTIA) is 8.6mm thick and has a 3MP rear camera.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blueman101:
Yeah i figure thats about what happened. Hopefully we will see some detailed(confirmed) specs soon so we can know what is really driving this thing. Also, perhaps finally review the optional UI question.

Dear Samsung,

Y U NO INFORM EXCITED PUBLIC OF FINAL SPECS!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Actually, what I want is 64GB internal memory model, with or without microSD card :)

I prefer without, if the space can be used to a little bit more battery and/or reduce the weight!.

I am now getting used to Nexus S, the one without microSD card. To my surprise, I can live with it, comfortably :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blueman101:
true, you probably can live without an SD card. But the reason most people will probably get a 16gb plus a 32gb SD is because its cheaper (even with the extra 32gb SD card purchase) then paying an extra $100 for a mere 16GB
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvs60:
I actually have a 16gb class 4 sitting around collecting dust. I'll just stick it in 16gb model
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blueman101:
there ya go
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I wouldn't have thought removing a MicroSD card slot would save much space or weight. A MicroSD card is tiny as too the housing for the slot.

For me, the want of a MicroSD card slot is not for expanding storage space cheaply but more for being able to transfer files to/from MicroSD easily. There's many situations when I would want to do this with a MicroSD card from my other devices or it is a MicroSD card from someone else I am with. In those situations, it's sometimes easier than faffing around with cables, bluetooth or Wifi. So the slot just gives another option.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
That's true. Having microSD is handy. Especially if you want to transfer a lot of files or big files.

But, my point is that no-microSD will not stop me buying a tablet :)

After I owned Nexus S, I don't think it is important anymore as long as the internal storage is big enough.

Again, this is my own preference :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t-c:
The one released in Aust. last week is a 16GB no SD slot model. I haven't seen a confirmation of the one that has the SD slot but have heard rumours that it will be thinner and up to 32GB.

I thought the internal memory was available to both system & data doesn't this mean that the internal memory would be an ext flavour rather than a FAT?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vamp6x6x6x:
I see your point and I have to agree that it does seem a bit cheaper just to get the 16gb model and buy a 16gb sd card unless u plan on being a data/movie packrat on ur Tab in which case you will want to get the 32gb model as well as a 32gb sd card.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Earthbrain:
I want the highest storage available period!

I don't care if it cost more. I would rather get a 32 GB and have another 32 GB of SD card storage.

I wish that there is a 64 GB version with SD card slot so that I can have 32 GB SD card to make the total of 96 GB.

I can never have enough space because I have so many HD movies that I want to store in my tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I recall reading the newer 10.1 Tab (i.e. one 8.6mm thin) came in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants. Where as the older 10.1 Tab (10.9mm thin) came in just 16GB and 32GB. I could be wrong or the website I read from may have been misinformed so happy to be corrected if anyone knows different.
